Demonstration 3

This demonstration is of streaming video, audio, control, and videoconferencing over a wide-area network for the purpose of cinema audio post-production. In particular, this scenario is of a professional mix engineer at Skywalker Sound giving a master class to a group of students at the University of Southern California and a the University of California San Diego. The Master Engineer can interact with students at both universities without ever leaving Skywalker Sound. The students have complete control over the remote session, and can also stream their own projects for the Master Engineer to review and comment on. Streaming media is handled using NTT’s Jpeg2000 codecs over CENIC managed research networks. Teleconferencing uses LifeSize units, while control information is streamed using Avocent KVM-over-IP devices.

The committee would like to thank Skywalker Sound for their generous donation of time, equipment, and facilities to this event, and to USC for use of their spaces and students.
